Another Quotable Night at Marcia's House

I spent Saturday evening with Jen at her sister's house. This time, the quote book was a paper towel. There are some that will remain on the paper towel to protect the innocent...but a few of the suitable for public consumption quotes follow below:

* Of course, once people know the quote book is out, they are always trying to be quotable. TJ kept saying "write that down" after things he, himself, had said. This led me to remind him of the basic tenet of The Quote Book":

If you try to get on it, it's never gonna happen.

* At one point in the evening, TJ and Paul were commenting on the fact that Renee and I were drinking water. We were intermixing water and beer like the good, professionals that we are. It led us into the conversation about being properly hydrated. Paul said he drinks a Costco sized bottle of water on the way to work and Renee wondered if that was everyday or just after late night drinking, prompting this excellent rookie quote from Paul:

Hangover days? On hangover days I don't even piss until 5 PM.

* Jen's sister Cindi was the second one to bed but for some reason she wouldn't quite go to sleep. Given the mass amounts of vodka consumed, we found this to be rather remarkable. Jen -ever the nurturing caregiver, kept going up to check on her prompting this classic exchange between Renee and TJ:

Renee: Where's Jen?
TJ: She's putting Cindi to bed.
Renee: Still? Damn. Can't she just hit her over the head with something?
